Bring back Tom Hicks. I am tired of competetive teams with high expectations and 3 million plus fans. It was a lot more fun when we could blame everything on one bad A Rod contract although I could never figure out why the 25 million per year prevented Hick's from spending another 75 mill or so on building a competetive team - oh wait I know.. He didnt actually have much money as we now know from his various failed business dealings. Billionaire - NOT!

I understand the contract, but why else do Rangers' fans dislike A-Rod?

He was never a team player, it was all about him. His contract alone hindered our team for years....the best thing that happened was that he opted out of the original contract we gave him after he was already with the Yankees (greedy bastard)

Probably because he insulted the fans AND franchise on the way out. He's classless and a roids user. His redeeming quality (his talent) is now all a big question mark...how good would he have been without roids? So all we're left with is a cheating douchebag.
